Olusegun Adebayo, a Nigerian cleric, has been honoured with a Canadian award for exemplary leadership.

Adebayo is the founder of Christ Apostolic World End-Time Revival Ministry (CAWERM).

The award from was facilitated by Olu Aladejebi and his wife, Funmi Aladejebi, both clerics.

The couple came from Canada to present the award to Adebayo, a prophet, for his “impactful role in the society and for being an example to young people in Africa”.

Barely two weeks after the honour from Canada, the African Students Union also gave a lifetime leadership award to Adebayo.

The leadership of the union, which was drawn from about seven countries in Africa, presented the award to the cleric in his Lagos church.

Commenting on the awards from Canada, Aladejebi gave an account of how he facilitated the award for Adebayo.

According to him, it was the good works of prophet and the great impact he has made over the years in the lives of many people known to him that made him push for the honour from Canada.

He said that was the only way he could pay him back for his sacrifices and love for humanity over the years.

“We thank God for what God is doing through our father. We experienced the miracle of God in his life. Our day of testimony is coming. My wife and I thought of what do to appreciate our father for his great impact in our lives and the society in general,” Aladejebi said at the presentation.

‘We don’t have money. Even if we give him money, it will be exhausted. My wife and I wrote to the federal government of Canada and also to the Ontario State government. We narrated a lot of things we experienced and the touch of God we received. And we asked that they be recognised in the country of Canada and state of Ontario.

“The state government and federal government have approved the recommendation. It is to appreciate the church of God and for the glory of God. Not all churches have such privilege. We give glory and honour to God who gave us the privilege to be able to do this. You are well recognised throughout the world.”

He said the awards are a testimony to the cleric’s unwavering commitment and timeless effort in impacting his community.

“The federal government of Canada through the House of Common is hereby presenting a Lifetime achievement award of global missionary work to you. We look forward to witnessing your continued influence on community. We like to extend our wishes for the continued success of your future endeavour,” Aladejebi said.

Responding to the awards from Canada, Adebayo thanked the facilitators and expressed gratitude for the recognition.

He expressed willingness to continue to project right values and impacting more lives.

“I bless God that I am an African. All over the world, apart from children of Israel, Africa is the most blessed continent. The West are using our resources to prosper. China came to limelight through Africa. The seat of God is in Africa. God speaks to me concerning Africa and the youths,” Adebayo said.

Other award received by Prophet Adebayo was the Africa Heritage Award early in the year.
